Summer Solstice Sale - Fantasy Ebooks

We are planning our biggest sale yet, and we're looking for more fantasy authors to join in!

The Summer Solstice Sale will be from June 19th to 23rd, and we are looking for indie fantasy authors to list their ebooks for sale during the event. We recommend setting a sale price of 50% to 70% off.

 

Why a sale instead of just giving away the ebooks for free?

Because readers who get a free ebook often don't actually read the ebook in question. They might get 50 free ebooks during an event like "Stuff Your Kindle", but how many of those books will they actually read? The answer? Most likely zero.

Why?

It comes down to psychology. If a product is free, then it probably isn't very good. But if you have to pay money for it, then it is more valuable and people are more likely to read a book that they spent money on.

This is why we recommend that fantasy authors taking part in this event set a sale price that is 50% to 70% off. It is a large enough sale price to attract attention, the author is still making a reasonable amount off each sale, and it isn't so cheap that readers will think that the book must be bad.

 

Want to join the Summer Solstice Sale?

Email peasantmagazine@gmail.com with the following information:

• Author name.
• The name of your book(s) that will be on sale (or free) during June 19th to 23rd.
• The sale price for each book taking part in the sale.
• A promotional blurb about your book.
• A short biography about the author.

We will add your book(s) to ArcaneTomes.Org and include your book in our promos for the Summer Solstice Sale.

Note - We are only looking for indie authors. Traditionally published authors need not apply. 

 

How can you help?

Tell your author friends about the Summer Solstice Sale. Tell your readers. Tell people on social media. Mention the sale on your blog, author website, etc.

What about Future Events?

If this event is successful we are hoping to create more events for the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes and the Winter Solstice. 

 

Update

So far we have 14 books that will be included in the Summer Solstice Sale, but we are expecting many more as we get the word out. 

 

 

"Summoned to a Fantasy World and Left to Die" by Shauna Sagaji

Kaliyah just wanted a chill weekend with her friends, but BAM! She’s suddenly summoned to a magical world bursting with dragons, shady royals with secrets, wickedly evil goblins, and one dangerously thirsty man-beast!

Out of nowhere, she’s branded a “Champion,” a hero chosen to save their world. 

Sounds epic, right? Only… she’s not having any of it. Things spiral wildly out of control, and Kaliyah finds herself betrayed, abandoned, and one magical sneeze away from life ending tragedy.

Her only goal: Stay alive. Or end it trying.

A dark romantic fantasy with hints of humor!

"Here be dragon clichés..." by Richard Sexsmith

Harold and Malcolm aren't knights. Nor are they dragonslayers. But they do like to pretend that they are...

In a series of misadventures the two half-brothers / charlatans find themselves trying to live up to the stories that they've been telling about themselves. Unfortunately that means trying to kill a real dragon, instead of just pretending that they do.

When things go sideways with these two ne'er-do-wells, as it usually does, can Harold and Malcolm find the means (and the clichés) to stay alive and get the job done?

"Here be dragon clichés..." is a Comedic Fantasy by Richard Sexsmith.

WARNING - This story contains a lot of literary clichés... about dragons and other fantasy tropes. There's so many clichés your head might explode. The author takes zero responsibility for anyone whose head explodes. Or anyone who dies from laughter. Or any other means of death which is both hilarious and tragic. You've been warned!

CONTAINS MATURE HUMOUR.
